TO MY LOVE

I love you for your gentleness,
the softness of your warm caress,
the caring in your eyes I see
each time you soothe and comfort me.

I love you for your loyalty;
no matter what, you stick by me.
Through thick and thin, you're always there
to lend a hand, to show you care.

I love you for companionship;
you make life's quest a pleasant trip.
You walk beside me hand in hand;
my little quirks you understand.

I love you for your faults (they're few)
that make you human, and it's true
if not for them I'd surely know
you were an angel sent below.

I love you for your ardent fire,
your passion and your strong desire,
your kisses hot upon my lips,
the fever in your fingertips.

You make me soar above the moon
and keep my womanhood in tune.
I think of you, my heart takes wing,
because you are my everything.
